Vista RC1: Where’s the Windows Mobile Device Center?
Apparenly Vista beta 2 had a nice feature that is supposed to take the place of ActiveSync: the Windows Mobile Device Center. Daniel Moth wrote a few posts about it in the past (here and here), but in RC 1 it’s gone - of course Daniel works for Microsoft these days, so he might not even be aware that the program is not available to us ordinary Vista users 
The good news is it’s pretty easy to get the application back. These instructions detail how a registry key has to be created to make Vista find an update all of a sudden that contains the Windows Mobile Device Center. Great – and it works just fine with my i-mate SP5, so I’m not complaining.

Hey, I am very much aware

In the next few days, expect to see a public supported version that also supports WM2003…
PS. Your security code (when it decides to render) is very tough!

Daniel - I’ve just tried my security code, and it renders every time for me… I also don’t think it’s usually too tough, but of course it changes all the time. If you get a particulary tough one that you think is too hard to read, please send me a screenshot, as it’s possible that I can tune something to make sure that particular problem goes away. A reload (Ctrl+F5 in IE, or Shift+F5 in Firefox) should get you a new code. Anything else you can tell me about that "doesn’t render at all" incident?
